NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's men's soccer team scored five goals in a span of 21 minutes and 16 seconds early in the second half and went on to defeat visiting Daniel Webster, 5-1, in a non-conference match at Cressy Field Wednesday.

After holding an 8-1 shot advantage in a scoreless first half, the Corsairs got on the board when sophomore forward Aelaf Solomon (Framingham, MA/Framingham HS) scored unassisted less than two minutes after the second half began. Solomon then assisted on a goal by senior forward Victor Ferreira (St. Miguel, Portugal/New Bedford HS) that made it 2-0 just 38 seconds later. Ferreira then drew the assist on freshman forward Matt Vidal's (New Bedford, MA/Dartmouth HS) goal at 54:29 to make it 3-0.

"In the first half, we were content and we let them dictate the pace," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Henry Almeida. "At the start of the second half, we put another guy forward, and we took it to them."

The Corsairs improved to 2-1-0 with the victory, while the Eagles fell to 2-2-0 with the defeat. UMass Dartmouth will return to action when they visit Framingham State Saturday. Daniel Webster will host Green Mountain Saturday.
